Unicode characters display as red (Word 2016)

[Ivy_S]

When I use IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) diacritics in Word 2016, they display as red. Example attached. I recognize that this is because of file encoding types. However, none of the encoding types appear to support these characters.



The problem is that when exporting to pdf, the diacritics also show up red in the pdf. I might be able to edit the colour of the diacritics in Acrobat, but I would prefer to do it in Word. Is there a way in Word to change the red unicode characters to default/black?

Thanks in advance for any advice!
